The conference focuses on the intersection of linguistic theory with data from the Romance languages. There are no specific requirements as to the topic, the subdiscipline, the approach, or the methodology, as long as it is clear how the Romance data contribute to linguistic theories of human language (http://going-romance.wp.hum.uu.nl).

In addition to the main session, there will be a special session:
